Life has never been easy for Scott Lang, an electronics expert who was forced into a career of crime to help his family. Scott always regretted breaking the law and only wanted to do what was right.

One day the famous scientist Dr. Hank Pym reached out to Scott and provided a way for him to put an end to his life of crime. Using gear invented by Dr. Pym, Scott became the astonishing Ant-Man, a hero capable of shrinking to the size of an ant, with the power of a hundred men.

Dr. Pym's technology revolves around the use of “Pym Particles”—an unusual set of subatomic particles capable of reducing the mass of any object. Scott, using the Pym Particles, has the ability to shrink not only himself, but also anyone or anything else. Using the Pym Particles, he can even sometimes enlarge things.

In addition, Scott can use other technology to communicate with ants and even summon them when they might be helpful. Since he's an electronics expert, Scott is continually modifying and expanding Dr. Pym's equipment, making it his own.

A dedicated hero, Scott Lang has put his past far behind him. Now he fights crime and protects the innocent as the astonishing Ant-Man!
